Is a higher MAPE better?
Since MAPE is a measure of error, high numbers are bad and low numbers are good. For reporting purposes, some companies will translate this to accuracy numbers by subtracting the MAPE from 100.
How do you evaluate MAPE?
This is a simple but Intuitive Method to calculate MAPE.
- Add all the absolute errors across all items, call this A.
- Add all the actual (or forecast) quantities across all items, call this B.
- Divide A by B.
- MAPE is the Sum of all Errors divided by the sum of Actual (or forecast)
What is the difference between MAPE and RMSE?
MAE y MAPE are measures that indicates about the mean of the dispersion between predicted and observed value, for each one with the linear model (absolute difference). RMSE is a measure of model error, it is more complet (it is my opinion). Both are useful to evaluate a LRM.
Which is the best way to minimize the MAPE?
If you do decide to minimize the MAPE, the best solution would quite probably indeed be to change the objective function. If this is not possible, cross-validation and checking various parameters for (say) Box-Cox transformations may be your best bet.

Do you need a tool to optimize your route?
If you have more than a handful of stops, you’ll probably want a tool that can optimize your route. That is to say, you need a tool that can find the optimal order of stops, with all of their complexity, to ensure your routes are efficient.
How is the MAPE used in regression problems?
The MAPE is a metric that can be used for regression problems : Where A represents the actual value and F the the forecast. I have to optimize my models with respect to this metric.
